We are so sad to say that mom had to take princess to Doc one last time today & she's on the way to the rainbow bridge. We didn't even have her a full year! Doc said we did give her the best 5 months of her 10 years. Even tho most of the time was in vet offices & on some type of meds. She came to us from the local shelter, found just 3 streets away from our home. Mom found this poor thing just laid there in her cage, doing nothin but sleep for the 8 hrs she was volunteering there. On the 2nd day of seeing this she took the peke outside into the grass & set with her. The dog almost right away started cruisin around so she got a nice long walk . After a few days of that, a bath and infected eyes cleaned up it was decided it was home with us. Wouldn't eat at the shelter, but ate it up at home. Became very active after a week or so of antibiotics for skin, botheyes&both ears having infections, abcessed teeth and bladder&kidney infections. Just got on top of that and she slipped 3 discs in her back that caused her to have temporary paralisis of entire right side. Got that under control with daily dosing of Metacam But the skin got worse, the eyes & ears quit responding to meds, the bladder & kidney problem was worse and today we were told she mainly had a raging staph & strep infection that is antibiotic resistant and a lump on one of her breasts was most likely cancer. She has been doing a lot of whining crying & barking this week & we were sure it was coz she just was so miserable and was ready for that final rest. We will miss you everyday little stinky one. Wish you would have been with us much longer to love( our last peke passed at 19 yrs old) I pray you are running happy & healthy now little love. Until we meet up again-MOM
